missteekay wow Joseph a UN agency, that's just great! I think i will have to step up my game and cast my net a bit wider than i have been doing already. Maybe the doubts are keeping me from really getting what i deserve. I will remember murphy's law and keep on trying....

missteekay I will leave it in to avoid any awkward moments during interviews. I can just imagine having to explain what i was doing in the past year and a half and having zero to say. Oh no i really would rather just leave it in then i think. All you mylotters...

missteekay Thanks Jeff. I think I might have to leave them and hope that there is a compassionate employer who understands the current climate and why i would be applying for that type of job. The issue is not even about enjoying the job for me it's about keeping my head...

missteekay I think honesty is the key so i will take on board some of the suggestions and familiarise myself with the employers before i bother with the application. I hope you get that teaching job Angel. The jobs are there but i think because of the financial crisis...

missteekay I will have to brush up on my interview skills while i am looking. Honestly, it's something that i have sort of overlooked as i was hung up on just getting the CV out there. These days you really can't afford to turn your nose up at any job. I will try to be...

missteekay I like the willing to explore bit that you have suggested. Thanks Corry. I will certainly put more effort in writing cover letters. Hopefully they can read how sincere i am from them. I am guilty of just sending resumes with no cover letter because the passion...

missteekay I have three types saved on my computer right now but all three have everything in them it's just the skills and attributes that keep changing to try and suit the job description that has been advertised.I hope they don't confuse me in the end.

missteekay I hope i come across one of those employers soon because it is a pretty depressing situation to keep o being knocked back from all angles. I apply for everything now and i find pleasure in just receiving the regrets because it makes me feel like at least...

missteekay I know what you are saying Ros but i think the potential only exists in your area of expertise where you feel that you are being looked down upon. I think sometimes they just look at your name and think oh this one is too short, too long etc and just trash...

missteekay Dearest Puneet, I have a baby to look after and my savings are runnig low. They need to be replenished otherwise there will be nothing. Employers do not like gaps in CVs so low work for me will do just fine. If you lived in my neck of the woods then you would...

missteekay What upsets me Zoey is that those words are so true that you wonder if employers just ignore them or they don't know them. The other important thing is if no one gives you a chance to start, then how are you ever going to learn the work. The career advicers...

missteekay That's another way of tackling this i suppose Ms Lydia. I will try the lowering the expected salary idea. The thought never crossed my mind. Employers should know by now that since the recession struck, a lot of us are just trying to make ends meet. I will not...

missteekay You see Jeff the problem i might have is the interviewer asking me about the gap in my CV and me saying i was travelling or some lie i can think of at the time. I don't know if they will think more or less of me for lying.Now that i have seen all your comments...

missteekay I remember in slumdog millionaire when a nasty pretencious man was blinding the kids so that they would receive more when they went out begging. I have heard stories of people who can cripple their kids just so they can receive more when begging. I think it's...

missteekay Well Neelia i think yours is a good idea because then both man and animal are provided for in this case. But in some developing countries there aren't any social welfare agencies that look after the poor. But with time i fear that as the numbers of the hungry...
